Important Safety & Usage Notes
-
Current Control: Strictly maintain current at ≤23A. Exceeding this limit will cause irreversible damage, thermal runaway, and power degradation.
-
Thermal Management: A robust active cooling system (air or water) is required to maintain temperatures ≤45°C and prevent thermal runaway.
-
Laser Safety: Always wear appropriate laser safety goggles (OD 4+ for 976nm) when operating. Never point the beam at people, animals, or reflective surfaces.
-
Fiber Care: Ensure the optical fiber remains free of dust, splashes, and debris. Avoid bending beyond the 90° limit to prevent signal loss and damage.
-
Pre-Owned Terms: This is a refurbished, as-is unit. It is tested for functional performance but sold without return or exchange.
-
Regulatory Compliance: Adhere to local laser safety regulations (e.g., FDA, CE) for your application. This module is not intended for consumer or recreational use.
